Supercharge Your Job Hunt with These Must-Have Apps

Looking for a job is basically a full-time job. With all the sending of CVs, interview prep, and LinkedIn stalking of recruiters, it’s easy to feel like your brain has 100 browser tabs open. But guess what? There’s an app for pretty much everything, including making your job search so much easier.

Whether you are a fresher searching for your first gig, a mid-career-switcher, or just trying to escape a toxic work environment (been there), these apps will help you keep track of, prioritise, and maybe even relax a little. So, let’s get started!

Trello is the Job Hunt Board You Didn’t Know You Needed

You know how it feels when you’re trying to track 10 job applications, and you’ve got random notes in your phone, sticky tabs on your laptop, and, uh, zero clue what’s happening? Enter Trello.

Set up boards for jobs you’ve applied to, interviews scheduled, and those “pending recruiter response” limbo roles. It’s like having your job hunt visualised in neat little cards, complete with deadlines and to-do lists.

 Bonus points: you get the satisfaction of dragging cards to the “completed” column. Feels like crossing off items on a to-do list, but better.

Use Canva to Give Your CV a Glow-Up

Your CV is like your Tinder bio for recruiters—if it doesn’t catch their attention in 6 seconds, it’s a left swipe (or worse, the bin). Canva’s resume templates are clean, modern, and ridiculously easy to customise.

Whether you’re applying for a creative role or a corporate one, Canva has something that screams, “Hire me, I’m the one.” And the best part? You don’t need to be a design pro, 

just —drag, drop, done.

Start Networking with CutShort and Make It Less Awkward

Networking is scary. Walking up to a stranger at an event and saying, “Hi, can you help me get a job?” sounds like a nightmare. Cutshort makes it easier by matching you directly with recruiters who are hiring for roles you’re qualified for.

No unnecessary small talk—just swipe, connect, and chat (yes, it’s as simple as it sounds). It’s like LinkedIn, but without the fake humility posts and spammy sales pitches.

Organise Your Documents with Kagaz Scanner

If you’re an Indian job seeker, you know the drill: CV? Check. Aadhaar card? Check. That random internship certificate from 2018? Also, check. Kagaz Scanner helps you keep all your important documents in one place.

The app lets you scan, edit, and organise PDFs on the go. So the next time a recruiter asks for “your latest payslip and ID proof,” you won’t have to dig through a pile of random downloads.

Big Interview is Your Mock Interview Guru

Remember the last time you blanked during an interview because they asked, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” (Uh, alive?). Big Interview lets you practise answering common interview questions in a judgement-free zone.

It even uses AI to tell you if you’re mumbling or sounding monotone—so you can nail your delivery when it matters. Think of it as your personal career coach, minus the high fees.

Get Industry Ready with GlassDoor

Applying for a job without checking Glassdoor is like walking into a restaurant without checking Zomato reviews. You might get lucky, but you might also end up in a toxic environment with zero perks.

Glassdoor gives you the lowdown on salaries, work culture, and even interview questions asked by specific companies. Want to know if that “startup” you’re applying to is actually just three people in a room? Glassdoor’s got your back.

Stop Doomscrolling and Start Focusing with Forest

Let’s be real, the job hunt is full of distractions (cough Instagram reels). Forest gamifies your productivity by letting you grow a virtual tree every time you focus on a task.

If you pick up your phone and start scrolling, your tree dies (brutal, but effective). It’s a quirky way to stay disciplined and keep the momentum going—because every application counts.

Get Polished with Grammarly

If your CV says “attention to detial,” you’re going straight to the reject pile. Grammarly makes sure your emails, cover letters, and LinkedIn messages are typo-free and professionally polished.

Think of it as that friend who always proofreads your texts before you send them to your partner—except this one’s available 24/7.

Upskill Like a Boss with Naukri’s Skill Library

Naukri isn’t just for job listings anymore. Their Skill Library helps you see what’s trending in your industry, from data science to digital marketing.

Use it to find out what recruiters in India are hunting for. Then, hit Udemy and Coursera to add those skills to your arsenal. It’s like leveling up in a video game: unlock a skill, get closer to your dream job.

Find Internships That Actually Pay with Zuno

If you’re a fresher, Zuno is your new best friend. It connects you with internships and entry-level jobs at companies that respect your time and talent (and yes, that means paid gigs).

They even have virtual internships, so you can watch The Office from your sofa while bingeing. It’s perfect for someone trying to get their foot in the door to break into the job market without getting stuck in the “no experience, no job” loop.
